Warning: QQ ahead (and a minor solution). Serious though QQ ahead, you have been warned!

(Solution for those having trouble with the most recent update)



Go to update, update can not occur and am asked to restart computer. Sure, why not?

Restarted computer, go to update again -> Update has failed please launch repair.exe (Imagine that a patch over 10MB that needs repair). No biggy, I'm use this, let's launch Repair.exe

Uh-oh! Didn't work! Now I'm getting rather annoyed... It's time for the ol' remove and download/install a new client...

Go to install....

Folder can not be installed in a non-empty directory (nice double negative, but my level of humor running thin at this point)

WTF, really?! Shocked


Luckily I found an old folder (probably from test server) named CCP (not my overview and chat logs folder found in documents), changed the name of the folder, still no go.... Canceled setup and restarted still no-go...

Finally I move the folder named CCP to my desktop (non-shortcut) kept the folder name changed, restarted computer, and launched installer- set to install in my Program Files x86 Folder - Success..

Luckily no big deal, but still a gigantic pain in the ass! Why the hell am I paying you people?! Thankfully your game is awesome but this **** poor level of support amazes me that this is not a free-to-play mmo. For how loyal your customers are, can you treat us with some dignity and figure out a way to patch a file and not make it such a pain? People have complained about how fail your patches have been for years, are you even paying attention?

Trusting CCP with patching files is like a trusting a r*tard with a loaded gun. It's just going to be a mess...

That is all.

i often do get some file-corruptions abd have to run the repair.exe multiple times to fix it
sometimes a re-download of the repair.exe helps too...

maybe my pc is broken, but everything else on the same drive works (intel x-25 ssd 80gb)
